Imagine playing the drums when you have no sense of rhythm, or singing with such emotion it's like falling in love. Every so often a teacher draws talents from students they never knew they had...every so often there's a Mr. Holland. Starring Academy Award-winner Richard Dreyfuss in an Oscar-nominated performance that's one of the most convincing metamorphoses ever seen on screen. This life-affirming, beautiful film features a nearly flawless supporting cast that includes Academy Award-winner Olympia Dukakis and Oscar-nominee William H. Macy.
In his wildest dreams, Glenn Holland (Dreyfuss) could never imagined that teaching music to teenagers would be anything other than a waste of his musical gift. But when the frustrated young composer places his dreams of writing a grand opus on hold in order to support his family, he discovers that the students he inspires strike a deep emotional chord within him... and that they become the very notes of his symphony. A glowing tribute to the unsung heroics of those rare, gifted teachers who make a difference in life, Mr. Holland's Opus hits a high note of triumph!
